Beside this is an area for younger kids which has a structure with curved slide, twisted climbing sheet, panel showing how gears work, tic-tac-toe, steering wheel and fireman's pole. There is also a music panel, standard swings, car springer, fish springer and train springer in this area.
A colourfully painted path runs through the playground.
